[0002] For an airplane, the aircraft engine is a very important device. During the flight of the aircraft, the rotation speed of the aircraft engine rotor is very high, so it is very important to ensure the normal and stable operation of the rotor during flight. The lubrication of the engine rotor bearing and the sealing effect in the bearing cavity determine whether the aircraft engine can operate normally.

[0003] Although there are various aircraft engine sealing devices on the market today, these devices are complicated and cumbersome to install, and it is inconvenient to check when problems occur. Most of the sealing devices rely on the rotation of the shaft to seal, but when the aircraft engine is just started, the speed of the shaft is slow, and the sealing effect of the sealing device at this time is not good, which may cause leakage of lubricating oil and affect the operation of the aircraft engine. In order to solve the above problems, an aircraft engine sealing device is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that although there are various aircraft engine sealing devices on the market nowadays, these devices are relatively complicated and cumbersome to install, and it is inconvenient to check when problems occur. Most of the sealing devices rely on the rotation of the shaft to seal, but when the aircraft engine is just started, the speed of the shaft is slow, and the sealing effect of the sealing device is not good at this time, which may cause leakage of lubricating oil and affect the operation of the aircraft engine. A sealing device for an aircraft engine is proposed.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: an aircraft engine sealing device, comprising a first outer shell of an aircraft engine, an aircraft engine is fixedly installed inside the first outer shell of the aircraft engine, a sealing component is arranged inside the aircraft engine, and a quick-release component is arranged outside the outer shell of the first outer shell of the aircraft engine.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The sealing component comprises a bearing cavity. The interior of the aircraft engine is provided with a bearing cavity, and a sealing ring is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the bearing cavity.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The outer wall of the bearing cavity is provided with a ventilation hole, and the bearing cavity is slidably connected with a sliding shaft through a sliding hole provided inside the bearing cavity, and a limiting disk is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the sliding shaft.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The quick-release assembly includes a first connecting frame, a plug block is fixedly mounted on one side of the first connecting frame, a bolt is threadedly connected to the first connecting frame through a threaded hole arranged on one side of the first connecting frame, and a nut is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bolt.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A second connecting frame is fixedly mounted on one end of the nut. The second connecting frame is plugged into the plug block via a slot arranged on one side surface of the second connecting frame. A second outer shell of the aircraft engine is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the second connecting frame.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The second connecting frame is threadedly connected with a bolt through a threaded hole arranged inside it, a wax block is fixedly installed on one end of the bolt, a wax block is fixedly installed on one side surface of the first connecting frame, and two quick-release components are symmetrically arranged about the transverse central symmetry axis of the first outer shell of the aircraft engine and the second outer shell of the aircraft engine.

[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] 1. In the utility model, by providing a sealing component and a quick-release component, when the device is used, if a fault occurs inside the aircraft engine and needs to be checked, the bolt can be rotated out, and then the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame are separated. With the separation of the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame, the first outer shell of the aircraft engine and the second outer shell of the aircraft engine are also separated, so that it is convenient for people to check the aircraft engine. When the engine is just started, external air enters the engine, and then the air enters the cavity in the bearing through the ventilation hole, so that the oil blocking mechanism is squeezed, so that the bearing cavity is sealed, and after the speed of the rotor is increased, the numerous sliding shafts are centrifugal. Under the action, it slides out of the bearing cavity and forms a labyrinth seal with the sealing ring. Through this design, not only the function of sealing the bearing cavity when the rotor speed is low or high is realized, but also it is convenient to disassemble and inspect the aircraft engine when it fails, avoiding the problem that these sealing devices are complicated and cumbersome to install, which makes it inconvenient to check when problems occur. Most of the sealing devices rely on the rotation of the shaft to seal, but when the aircraft engine is just started, the speed of the shaft is slow, and the sealing effect of the sealing device is not good at this time, which may cause leakage of lubricating oil and affect the operation of the aircraft engine. In addition, it is simple and convenient to use and has strong practicality.

[0018] 2. In the utility model, by providing a wax block, the bolts can be fixed again during the use of the device, so that the first connection and the second connection frame become more stable, and at the same time the service life of the bolts is increased, so that they are protected from erosion by rain and the like, so that they do not need to be replaced frequently, and subsequent disassembly and installation are also convenient, which is more environmentally friendly, simple and convenient to use, and highly practical.

[0028] The specific implementation method is as follows: when the device is used, if a fault occurs inside the aircraft engine 2 and needs to be checked, the bolt 35 can be rotated out, and then the first connecting frame 31 and the second connecting frame 33 are separated. As the first connecting frame 31 and the second connecting frame 33 are separated, the first outer shell 1 of the aircraft engine and the second outer shell 4 of the aircraft engine are also separated, so that it is convenient for people to check the aircraft engine 2. When the engine is just started, external air enters the engine, and then the air enters the cavity in the bearing through the ventilation hole 54, so that the oil blocking mechanism is squeezed, so that the bearing cavity 53 is sealed. After the rotation speed of the rotor is increased, the plurality of sliding shafts 51 slide out of the bearing cavity 53 under the action of centrifugal force, and form a labyrinth seal with the sealing ring 55.

[0029] The second connecting frame 33 is threadedly connected with a bolt 35 through a threaded hole set inside it, and a wax block 34 is fixedly installed on one end of the bolt 35. A wax block 34 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the first connecting frame 31.

[0031] Working principle: When the device is used, if a fault occurs inside the aircraft engine 2 and needs to be checked, the bolt 35 can be rotated out, and then the first connecting frame 31 and the second connecting frame 33 are separated. As the first connecting frame 31 and the second connecting frame 33 are separated, the first outer shell 1 of the aircraft engine and the second outer shell 4 of the aircraft engine are also separated, so that people can check the aircraft engine 2 conveniently. When the engine is just started, external air enters the engine, and then the air enters the cavity in the bearing through the ventilation hole 54, so that the oil blocking mechanism is squeezed and the bearing cavity 53 is sealed. After the speed of the rotor is increased, the numerous sliding shafts 51 slide out of the bearing cavity 53 under the action of centrifugal force, and form a labyrinth seal with the sealing ring 55. During the use of the device, the bolt 35 can be fixed again, so that the first connection and the second connecting frame 33 become more stable, and at the same time, the service life of the bolt 35 is increased, so that it is protected from erosion by rain and the like, so that it does not need to be replaced frequently, and it is also convenient for subsequent disassembly and installation, which is more environmentally friendly to use.
